You spend close to a year repairing your vessel and finally it is complete. It is a much smaller scale compared to the old one, but you expect it to be sufficient to assist you back home as long as you have good luck out at sea. Not far at all into the journey you notice storm clouds brewing yet again and coming up even quicker than last time. You ponder your choices...

Do you bail out of the ship and attempt to swim back to shore?OR
**Do you try to keep going and get back home to Ithaca?**
